Attack, and Counter Attack

Here is the vegetable garden, less than 2 weeks after tilling, and just a few days after a rain or two. Note the voracity of the Coco Grass attempting a total reclaimation.

And this was a thorough tilling too. Just scattered around the nuts. Coco Grass is also know as Nut Grass, or Nutsedge. Here is a closeup. Don't worry, though, I'll get it. Have tiller, will till, and re-till, and till again, till the energy of the nuts are expended.

Here's a shot of the first row, the only one I raked into a hill so far. You can barely see the Tomato, Bell Pepper, and Cucumber seedling mentioned in the earlier post. And the string laid out to rake up the second row, which I hope to get through this weekend. Note the abundance of Oyster and other shells. Guess this was an old parking spot or somthing decades ago. Never know what you'll run across out here in the country. Can't wait for the fall garden to come in, but I think I'll enjoy the winter garden even more.
